The San Francisco 49ers held their annual State of the Franchise event at the California Theater in San Jose on Wednesday night. Team president Al Guido was the first on stage and made several announcements about Levi's Stadium, the team, and the game-day experience.

Below is a rundown of everything Guido announced during the event.

  • 49ers players, coaches, and executives spent over 3,000 hours on community outreach last year on behalf of the organization.
  • Levi's Stadium has hosted more events in its first five years than any other stadium in the country. That includes Super Bowl 50, the National Championship Game, Wrestlemania, and concerts, and more.
  • The 49ers have made over 200 enhancements to Levi's Stadium and the game-day experience based on over 400,000 fan surveys.
  • The 49ers will make an additional 50 enhancements in 2019.
  • The season-ticket-holder credential will be back. It replaced individual physical tickets last year for season ticket holders who do not want to use the digital option.
  • Levi's Stadium and the 49ers ranked in the top 5 in guest service improvements across the NFL.
  • The 49ers will once again hold open training camp practices and add additional seating to accommodate more fans. The team hosted over 30,000 fans throughout training camp last year.
  • Every single game will once again have a theme and giveaway associated with it. That includes former NFL receiver Terrell Owens being inducted into the Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. San Francisco 49ers Hall of Fame during Week 3 vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers.
  • 49ers players will wear the team's all-white throwback uniforms during the Week 8 matchup against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, October 27, which is Alumni Week. All money raised during that weekend will go toward the Golden Heart Fund.
  • The 49ers end zones will feature the team name written in the classic Quentin font, which Guido called the "saloon font," all season.
  • Guido discussed the massive development project just north of Levi's Stadium, which will feature 700 hotel rooms, a 30-acre park, bars, and restaurants. The construction may impact parking or other aspects of the game-day experience, but the team has committed to communicating with fans regarding the changes. The project will take approximately three years with the first 50 acres of construction likely kicking off in January or February.
  • The 49ers will give away two bobbleheads to fans this season. They will feature tight end George Kittle and tackle Joe Staley. The first will be available on October 27 against the Panthers while the second will be handed out on November 17 against the Arizona Cardinals.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw is currently rehabilitating after undergoing surgery for the torn Achilles he sustained last month during Super Bowl 58. He'll have a partner in his recovery, as he wasn't the only member of the team to suffer that specific injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to reporters on Tuesday morning at the NFL owners meetings and revealed that defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks also sustained a torn Achilles during the game.
